* The snow stuck, but looking out my window, Monday, I suspected that if I could make it across the parking lot, I'd be fine everywhere else. This was correct. Getting in and out of the apartment complex was the only really dangerous bit. The roads and sidewalks elsewhere were wet, but clear. Baked goods wait for no one. I wore myself out. There were tins of cookies to deliver, the foraging, the Post Office, turning in bureaucracy, the pharmacy, the library, the bank. I ran out of leg well before getting home and spent time on the floor of the Post Office, and more draped exhaustively over the display counter.
* I first noticed Millennial queer young adults treating me as an Elder the last time I went back to college for teaching re-cert. I was still in my thirties. While there is something pleasing about being listened to that way and being asked questions about what it was like, it is a terrible thing that so many of the rest of us weren't here to BE Elders. That so many of us died in the epidemic, many of the ones who would have been my generation's elders. I think of that a lot, how many of us were lost to the epidemic and the violence against us. It's still bad like that in the trans community. We keep losing so many of the women of colour in particular. No one should be an elder in their thirties and forties, and yet this is where we are. Just having survived to middle age is still a miracle for us. It shouldn't be. We need to be better as a country, as a world.
